That brings an interesting moral dilemma.

Knowing that half of the population are, if not outright, very comfortable with, racists and sexists should the democrats have presented a candidate a traditional older cis white male instead of a blasian female ?

Basically, is it ok be making racist choices to beat the racist party or lose with integrity ?

I think we know the answer to that now. We're actually more sexist than Mexico, lol.

Pragmatism and utilitarianism say yes, in the same way it is morally okay to kill a Nazi without just cause.
